Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Trading with the Immortals
The sky was deep, and the bright moon cast a soft glow like thin smoke. The vast sea surface was slightly undulating, shattering the moon shadow and rippling with bits of gold.
"I don't have any inner treasures on me." Wang Xuan said, he didn't want to meet the creatures that might be immortals.
Even across the curtain, he was afraid, that kind of creature was unfathomable.
After experiencing the incident of the red-clothed female demon fairy, he didn't dare to easily enter the inner scene left by those ancient people.
"It doesn't matter, meeting is fate. This ship has been deserted for many years, and it's rare for someone to board it. Come here and chat casually, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate with them."
The ferryman was easy to talk to. Then, he took another look at Wang Xuan's short sword and said, "Besides, you have some good tools on you."
There was no wind and waves in the sea, and the bamboo boat was very stable. The ferryman sat on the bow with a fishing rod in his hand, looking at the void.
The curtain was approaching, and it was slowly sinking from midair, gradually leveling with the sea level, with mist attached, not far away.
The feathered bamboo boat was connected to the curtain by a fishing line, and there was a faint glow flowing.
"Someone wants to cooperate with your ancestor and is willing to give a feathered scripture." The ferryman turned around and spoke. There was no one in the raincoat, it was pitch black, and only mist was filled.
Wang Xuan had to sigh that it was such a big deal.
If he didn't know the truth, he would be very tempted.
But he saw the end of the leader of a sect in the inner scene deep in the moon pit on the new moon, and now he felt horrified when he heard about this kind of transaction.
He was immediately alert. These creatures were very scary. They wanted to hunt the ancestor of a sect right away!
"My ancestor is in seclusion, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come out for a short time." Wang Xuan responded in a low-key and serious manner.
In this place, he dared not mess around, his expression was serious and sincere.
The ferryman nodded and said, "Well, someone heard that you resolutely gave up all kinds of top-notch 'real body' paths and became another person on board after many years. They think you are good and want to teach you."
"Are there any conditions?" Wang Xuan asked cautiously.
If the ancient feather-level strongman taught the secret method, many practitioners would probably go crazy!
"Enter the world behind the curtain to study for three years, and you have to do three things for him in the future." The ferryman wearing a straw raincoat said.
"The master is here, so I won't travel far. I don't know if he can successfully take that step after closing the death gate. I dare not stay away." Wang Xuan said solemnly.
The ferryman smiled and said nothing.
Wang Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Can people like us in the mortal world also enter the world behind the curtain?"
"Your spiritual consciousness can enter temporarily, but your physical body is difficult."
After hearing this response, Wang Xuan's heart palpitated. If he really went in to see him, would he still be the one who came out?
He felt that this was too passive, and said, "As a low-level cultivator, I don't think I have anything that can be favored by the predecessors. Why don't you ask the predecessors if there are any unfulfilled wishes in this world, and see if I can help and how we can cooperate."
After hearing the ferryman's retelling, the people behind the curtain fell silent. Those unfathomable creatures seemed to think of some old things in the past, reminiscing and remembering.
There was fog in front of the curtain, which had not dispersed, and their true faces could not be seen.
"Someone asked you, can your ancestor kill the black prison bird at the level of earth immortals?"
Wang Xuan was in a big headache. Asking Wang Jiaozu to kill the damn black prison bird, what a joke!
He shook his head and refused. He really couldn't agree.
The ferryman said, "That's a pity. It's rare to have such a creature below the feathering level to ask your ancestor to kill. It's a relatively easy task to complete."
Wang Xuan was speechless. Killing an earth immortal is a task with a low difficulty coefficient?
But if you think about the origins of these people, you can understand it.
"That senior is so powerful, why didn't he kill his enemy himself back then?" Wang Xuan asked.
The ferryman said: "That earthly immortal was separated from him by several generations, and destroyed his temple in the future, so he was angry."
Wang Xuan was in a trance. After he ascended to heaven, even his own way out was copied by others, which was miserable enough.
At the same time, he was alert. He was too unfree after entering the big curtain, and he completely lost his influence on the world.
Wang Xuan opened his mouth and said: "If you have enemies, don't look for my ancestor. Today is different from the past. The environment of heaven and earth has changed drastically. Ascending to heaven is a thing of the past, and creatures at the level of earthly immortals have become legends."
Everything was relayed by the ferryman for both parties.
Behind the big curtain, those people were silent, and many areas were indeed like this.
Wang Xuan said again: "Seniors, if there are any descendants who need to be taken care of, please tell me."
The ferryman shook his head and said: "They all refused, fearing that your master would destroy their descendants and covet the treasures they left behind."
Wang Xuan was speechless after hearing this. The ideas of this group of people are really...dark enough!
But he can also understand that people who have reached this height must have experienced all kinds of storms and dangers in the world, otherwise they would not live to ascend to heaven.
"No wonder they have left traps for their descendants after the disappearance of the present world. None of them are easy to deal with!" Wang Xuan complained in his heart.
Then he said again: "Seniors, do you have any elders you miss or your beloved ones you miss? I can help you find their old graves, sweep the graves and pay tribute to them."
Even the ferryman was speechless. This person who boarded the ship was a bit different. Was he going to take on all kinds of trivial matters in the world, such as visiting graves and looking for people?
"No way, I am still just a mortal now." Wang Xuan responded helplessly.
"They said that when you die, everything is empty, and you ascend to heaven. At this moment, you cut off your ties with the world. Even if you have thoughts, you can only commemorate them in your heart." The ferryman said, and then he added: "I think they are afraid that you will go to steal graves."
Wang Xuan sighed: "What kind of terrible era did these predecessors go through? Why do they think so badly of people's hearts!"
The ferryman was speechless.
After a moment, he showed a strange look and said: "Someone asked, has your planet entered the interstellar era? Can you go into deep space?"
Wang Xuan nodded and gave a positive response.
The ferryman said: "This is a simple task. Someone will give you the starry sky coordinates and ask you to deal with a mortal with a large sum of money."
"Crossing the starry sky? It's too far away. I won't take this task!" Wang Xuan refused. Who knows where he will go.
He is still just a "mortal". Even if he is a transcendent, he is very small in the deep space of the universe.
"She said, don't rush to refuse. That life planet is now in decline, and there are almost no practitioners. She will give you a reward that is hard to refuse."
"What reward?" Wang Xuan asked. At the same time, he was very curious about what kind of hatred would make a Yuhua-level strongman miss a mortal.
Moreover, even if there is a mortal enemy, it should be old and dead, right?
Could it be a new hatred caused by the recent intervention in the world? He was moved.
The ferryman conveyed, saying: "She said that she can give you some medicinal soil left by a peerless demon fairy. Once you set foot in the field of collecting herbs in the future, you will understand how important it is."
"Medicinal soil, is it important?" Wang Xuan was puzzled.
"Believe me, she is right. I know that there is indeed a peerless demon fairy behind her, and the medicinal soil left by her is definitely a treasure." Even the ferryman sighed.
Then, he added, "Medicinal soil is not real soil, but more precisely, some kind of medicinal properties. I suspect that the medicinal soil left by the peerless demon fairy contains some medicinal properties of heavenly medicine."
"What if she lied to me?" Wang Xuan was suspicious. Is it necessary to be so generous to deal with a mortal? He thought it was not very reliable.
The ferryman spoke calmly, saying, "I am a promise-keeper. With me here, I can guarantee a fair trade and there won't be any problems."
Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, ask her who she wants to deal with and what I should do."
"She wants to deal with a mortal named Wang Xuan. At that time, you only need to insert a feathered bamboo engraved with runes into his body. Don't insert it into the vital parts, and you will complete the task. If you accept, she will give you detailed information and a killing weapon that can kill primary extraordinary people and can be used for self-defense. Of course, it can only be used twice at most. Afterwards, she will give you peerless medicinal soil."
Wang Xuan's face was calm, but there was an uproar in his heart. He came to the deep space, and someone wanted to deal with him!
Is he so famous among the immortals? No need to think, the other party is thinking about him because he can open the inner scene by himself while he is still a mortal!
Some immortals are restless and want to return to the world!
Forget about sending medicinal soil. If he could really return, he would probably send something more important!
He frowned and asked, "Is this interfering with the world and dealing with a mortal? If the immortals frequently act like this, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
The ferryman said calmly, "You think too much. Only this special place can do business, but no one has boarded this ship for hundreds of years."
Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded calmly and said, "Okay, but I must get the medicinal soil first."
The ferryman shook his head and said, "The other party said that the medicinal soil is too precious. If you don't complete the task, this transaction cannot be carried out."
Wang Xuan was very determined and said, "I don't know if I can come here next time. If I don't take the reward now, I won't get it at all."
"That's right. This secret road is not easy to walk." The ferryman nodded.
In the end, after bargaining, the strong man was willing to pay part of the medicinal soil first.
The ferryman solemnly informed, "Be content, this kind of medicinal properties, only a small amount is needed to change your fate, it is enough!"
Wang Xuan said: "I have a condition, no matter what the circumstances, you need to always ensure my own safety, I will consider taking action against that Wang Xuan. Otherwise, I have the right not to act, give up the attack, it does not count as violating this deal."
"Well, it's okay, the other party agreed." The ferryman informed.
In an instant, a finger-long feathered bamboo emerged from behind the curtain, densely packed, engraved with strange runes, and flew along the fishing line.
Then, another silver hairpin flew out, it looked like a woman's jewelry, but after a simple sacrifice just now, it has become an extraordinary killing weapon.
In addition, there is a piece of jade, which is full of information.
Wang Xuan frowned and said, "These are items from the immortals. I am a little worried. What if they do something to them? For example, they will kill me in the end."
"Don't worry, I have checked them. There is no problem with these things. They fully comply with the rules of the Old Testament." The ferryman said, and he added, "Anyone can use these utensils, so don't lose them."
"Now I feel relieved!" Wang Xuan nodded, relieved.
"Okay, the Old Testament witnesses, the transaction is completed!" The ferryman said loudly, and a terrifying thunder flashed between heaven and earth.
Then, he reminded both parties separately that the Old Testament recorded all this and it has come into effect. No one can regret it and must strictly fulfill the agreement.
Behind the curtain, the trader suddenly had some impulse and was a little uneasy.
At this moment, she wanted to pay an extremely expensive commission and ask the ferryman to disperse the fog. She wanted to see the trader outside the curtain.
Gradually, day and night were reversed. I continued to write. I hope that the second chapter can be published earlier today. I will try my best to adjust. Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket.
